We had the opportunity to meet Business Insider Senior Transportation Reporter Rachel Premack at FreightWaves LIVE, and she was kind enough to be our guest!  Rachel is a senior transportation reporter at Business Insider. She focuses on logistics — particularly trucking and how deliveries are changing with the rise of e-commerce — and speaks regularly on national radio, industry panels, and podcasts. For part 1 of this 2 part conversation, Michael, Aaron, and Rachel start with a few "millennial" topics: The viral "Ok Boomer" retort: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/29/style/ok-boomer.html The newly announced Tesla Cybertruck:  https://www.foxnews.com/auto/elon-musk-explains-tesla-cybertruck-window-fail We start shifting into "trucking stuff" when we discuss this article Rachel wrote about Andrew Yang, a Democratic presidential nominee. He's growing in popularity with young people and has found a passionate following with the group "Truckers for Yang".  Andrew's lead campaign policy is the "Freedom Dividend", a $1,000 / month payment from the federal government that he says will help offset unemployment as jobs are automated away.  https://www.businessinsider.com/truck-drivers-andrew-yang-self-driving-2019-9 We hope you enjoy this conversation!
